Since 1960

Force and torque measurement for vehicle and component testing Real loads.
Real roads.

Force and torque measured on the vehicle itself, while it is driven.

Wheel force transducers, load cells, slip rings and telemetry that keep measuring on gravel, snow and ice.

Measuring solutions for vehicle and component testing. On track, road or dyno.

Michigan Scientific designs and builds transducers, slip rings, telemetry and signal conditioning. They measure force, torque, strain, temperature, speed and acceleration on the vehicle itself, while it is driven.

All products

Nothing in the range fits your part? We strain gage and calibrate the part itself, so nothing sits in the load path.

Custom transducers

The tests we help run

Our engineers have instrumented wheels, driveshafts, steering columns and suspension links on cars, trucks, tractors and trains. Under each test, the families it draws on.

All applications

Precise. Robust.

Since 1960.

Measured at the source

At the wheel center, on the shaft, in the tie rod. Nothing between the part and the gage, so the load you record is the load the vehicle sees.

Built for hard conditions

Sealed transducers, slip rings and telemetry that run the whole campaign, on snow, ice, salt and off-road. Calibration accredited to ISO/IEC 17025.

Sixty years of testing behind the range

Michigan Scientific engineers have instrumented vehicles for over sixty years. The range answers what they met on the way: a signal to get off a spinning wheel, a vehicle you cannot modify, high voltage and electrical noise.

Short of hands for the campaign?

We instrument, we drive, we deliver the data.

Rent a calibrated set, send us your parts for strain gaging, hand us the vehicle for preparation, or give us the whole test. Your engineers stay on the analysis.
